• No issue with lifts or docks • Why does the city claim that the lakes are such a valuable asset but yet fail to contribute to spraying or goose removal from the lakes to maintain water quality? • Control of shoreline alterations —prohibit use of wood products w/ chemicals (i.e. treated timbers &rail rail ties) and require all to have a minimum 3 to 1 grade. • Use of RR timbers for landscape &treated timber • Storm drains dumping everything into lakes • Salt use on roads +thereby into lakes • Naturalize shorelines/buckthorn removal (Johanna) • Don't change dock ordinance (don't regulate docks) • Control goose population • Allow reasonable aquatic weed management —last year unable to windsurf due to keel catching on weeds in many areas • Run off into lake from storm sewers, roads, and parking lots • Native plants Boards Karth Lake • Drains need work • Problem is runoff to lake • It would help to have lake restrictions on types of fertilizer used + frequency for lawns. I would support an all out bar, but I doubt many other would. • Shoreline buffer don't exist on all lots • With no outlet it doesn't take much to turn the whole lake green Geese • Help control geese population by contributing to removal. They cause many health issues • Keep the geese leaving city + county need to help pay for geese removal • Grass going right to the shoreline may be nice for us but it probably isn't worth the trade-off in water quality, reduced biological diversity, + nuisances Native Plantings • Encourage these native plantings! • Encourage these plantings • A website with available resources + links to "how-to" articles would be helpful • I don't see any suggestions for a real hillside as shoreline. (Currently I have very old and established bushes with deep roots holding the soil, but what can I do about the very slanted base of the hill?)
